It must be something on your end Morley, the pics are up OK on the thread.

My Ex KR Frame is an original Schwerma CHampion, that came to me via Rod Lake,
I might get GMC to copy it before I build this bike,
if there is any takers or Geoff wants to do it??

Locally built by GMC sounds good Sonny, do think Geoff would have a go, could be a good little earner

[firko]

I was going to ask Geoff if he'd like my or Alans spare Trackmasters to jig up for. The reason the Trackmaster is a good starting point for a generic flat track frame is that most British and Japanese twins (and singles) fit right in, the only differences being engine mounts/plates.
Basils had Alans #0001 Trackmaster A70 BSA frame to make a jig up for years but as far as we know he hasn't even touched it. We'll be heading up there fairly soon to get it back before it's lost forever.

pictures come up ok on my worse computer Firko, can't figure that one but never mind--kids will fix it!!

Not really to do with dirt track but [nearly got running] built an air cooled RD350 once with a 360 degree crank [if that sounds right]--as a twin-single]. Made it like that partly so i could fire a twin lead coil or two single coils off one set of points but shelved it [sold it for bits] as was told it'd vibrate bad. Never got to find out but should have gone to 90 degrees & sorted ignition somehow. Was in an RGV250 frame--yet another failed [unproven] project. Gotta have a project!!

Trackmaster style framer would be great like as firko says you can put anything in them and they look sweet.  My favourite framer is the knight.

Firko  is the last set you posted an early YDS 250 type Yam? Looks like an old piston port electric start one I had moons ago.  Looks pre date the R5 / DS7 era engines to me .
 Bet those unsilenced twin left hand exit chambers would wail and scream.... Cheers Tim754

Yes Trackmasters are a great base for several reasons
1st they work right so anyone can ride one,
2nd almost anything fits in
3rd the big backbone can be adapted for oil
.
As I said in a previous post I have a real Ray Hensley Trackmaster for the XS650 in pieces so that it can be copied .
To me John Kozinski's Wood Rotax would be the best framer for any track in OZ.

That bike appeals to me in so many different ways...it's trick as shit, it's meticulously prepared, and it looks sensational. Plus the Kocinski/Wood pairing adds a lot of class to the deal.

Gee a moment that captures a presentation of creation is my definition of art.

Art to me is also something i will never bore of

If you had all of the front wheel in that snap on one of my walls I could drool over it for life

Pure escapism if such a word does or were to exist

[Iain Cameron]

You guys are making me think about this flat track idea . mmmmm Geoff I would buy one of those frames if you end up making them . Iain

[Andrew L]

Im gettin the idea's going as well i have access to an rd400 motor under the old boys house

[Dono113]

I've planted the seed, now lets see what blooms

[SON]

The frame is great it will take all the early Aircooleds,
All the TZs and the LCs/RZeds or even Banshee Quads,
People will pay good money to hear them sing,
Same with the Harley's
